Here is what happens when I try to start emacs from a terminal: $ emacs Undefined color: "black" And that is all that happens. I have tried reinstalling it, I even installed it from the tarball available on gnu.org. Same thing. I am guessing that this might be a problem with X or something? I can do emacs -nw and it works, but I like the X version. I have completely removed my .emacs file, so I don't think it can be that. Thanks ahead of time for your help. I love emacs!! I feel like I have been separated from a brother or something! Ken Keefe
